About Ankit Agarwal
I\'m an engineering leader with 10+ years of experience scaling platforms across fintech and retail, passionate about building technology that solves real-world problems.At Pluang (Accel-backed,$113M+ raised), I scaled our engineering team from an early-stage org into a high-performing org of 65+ engineers, partnering closely with product and business teams across Indonesia, India, and Singapore. We built secure, scalable infrastructure supporting billions in trading volume across crypto, US stocks, gold, and derivatives - all while keeping the platform fast, reliable, and constantly evolving.Earlier at Target (US), I led key initiatives to modernize core retail systems, and played a central role in building intelligent platforms leveraging AI, RPA, and scalable engineering solutions—including Target’s Vendor Income Recovery and Intelligent Document Processing platforms. These experiences shaped how I think about systems, teams, and delivering real business impact through technology.My experience bridges large-scale enterprise systems, intelligent automation platforms, and high-growth startup environments, allowing me to lead effectively through complexity and scale.
